this is obama up speaking only two democrats. we need of both parties to work together. one cavaet to this view is the gerrymandering issue. i like this framework. i was thinking about it. to this dering fits in framework nicely. but as a means -- what doe sit mean when more and more constituents need to be bought off. if we have this problem where we are dysfunctional and the parties are not talking to each other, what can be done about it? it is natural for me to think of it in terms of budgetary issues. my discussion of these ideas will be framed that way. i would like to talk about this one view that if we passed the right set of rules, we could fix it. that the rules right. we can fix all of this. most of them are legislative lawyers. pass a law. find the right law. i would like to discuss some of these. it reminds me of my job when i was on the council of economic advisers. i once heard someone characterized the job as being -- flushing roaches down the drain. there are roaches coming up the sink. these roaches are ideas. they can come from colleagues and what you

both mitt romney and obama are both internationalists, i believe. does the president have some vulnerabilities? the answer to that is yes. i think a lot of them relate to the economic argument. i think that mitt romney will try to pitch obama on foreign policy in ways that resonate the story he is trying to tell about problems with the economy. for example, europe, while obama has very little that he can do about that, virtually nothing, he will argue that obama pursues a european-style welfare state with excessive government debt and spending. look at what is happening in europe and that is a model of what will happen here. likewise, i think the idea of a rise in china is something that unsettles a lot of people. it feeds into economic anxiety. mitt romney is not the president, so for him, talk is cheap. bashing china, unfair trade practices, saying they are not devaluing their currency to make american products cheaper, the inability for us to infiltrate as much of the market in china, the idea that china is a growing power on the international st
